Internet Becomes Unavailable Randomly?
May 21, 2012
I've tried two different NIC's and they both do the same thing. One NIC was a PCI-E and the other is a USB. The internet just stops working, i.e. if you do a status on the adapter it says 'Internet not available.'Now! If I disable the new adapter and enable the old adapter which is a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Card WMP54GS with SpeedBooster that matched the router I had before it died three weeks ago the card works perfectly! It never disconnects from the internet so to speak.This has to be something in Windows 7 that is causing this behavior in the new adapter. I did a little snooping around myself and there was a suggestion to disable the 'IP Helper' service. I disabled it and stopped it and the adapter still 'went to sleep.'

I have had a little bit of trouble with my internet connection lately. sometimes i just get limited connection or it will just stop working. what i mean by that is it'll be working fine and then i get a little yellow exclamation mark over my wireless and it says limited access and i can't connect to the internet. i try disabling it and then re-enabling it, troubleshooting, and turning my router on and off again. i think it generally works fine when i restart my computer, but i don't want to have to be restarting all the time and having an unreliable connection. i've got a thomson tg585 v8 wireless router and under my device manager it says i have Atheros AR9285 Wireless network adapter and intel 82579V Gigabit Network connection.

Sometimes my Internet Explorer will randomly disconnect from the internet. Sometimes it will disconnect when I have left the computer for 10 minutes. Sometimes it will disconnect right in the middle of surfing the internet. It is only Internet Explorer because my anti-virus and my stand alone download manager will continue to be connected.
I have Windows 7 Pro and Internet Explorer9. I've had this problem before when I was on Windows XP and it only happens when I have had DSL (didn't happen when I had cable internet).

Toshiba laptop, Windows 7 Ultimate x86, RTL8187b WiFi NIC.Clean install.Opening a new site is working ok and fast, when clicking on a link on the website, I get a very slow response or a time-out...When I do the same thing at the same time on a wired computer or/and on a Ipad (wireless), the page opens normaly....I've disabled the windows firewall. I've tryed several browsers (IE8/9, Chrome and Firefox), but all act the same... Tryed different drivers for the NIC...When I connect the laptop wired, all is ok....It happens on different websites on different times and moments....Opening the site works fine, so DNS should be ok.

I have a problem that has been puzzling and annoying me very much for the past week or so. I have no problem connecting to the network but at random times I lose connection to the internet for a few seconds or a few minuites. I never lose connection to the network though. My playstation 3 has a wired connection directly to the modem as does the computer in the living room, and those units never lose connection. How ever my computer in my room along with my xbox 360, which is also in my room, loses connection wirelessly. My xbox and this computer DO NOT have this problem at other people houses so I'm thinking it must be my router (Linksys E1000). The wireless adapter I have on my computer is a Linksys WMP600N Dual Band. Both the router and my wireless card have the lastest firmware and I have also tried giving my computer a static IP along with the Xbox and forwarding the ports for it. Still does not work for me. I am able to connect to my neighbors internet which has no problems with connection other than the fact that its laggy since i am far from their router. I really dont want to go out and buy a new router so any help anyone could give me would be awesome!

Now, I recently had to change to new ISP, that can't provide cable where I live. It's stupid DSL internet through the phone cable. With my old ISP there were zero problems, but now it's quite bad.Connection drops randomly for about a minute, then it comes back without me touching anything. Windows says it cannot connect to the primary DNS server when that happens. The problem happens more in the evening, which leads me to believe I cannot fix it, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Could it be like, not the line overloading because of other people, but the router getting clogged because of being used all the day, or something? O_o There's 4 PCs connected to the same router by the way so traffic gets quite heavy. I can't use my old router. I tried, but the cable that goes in this one is smaller, phone cable, not the ethernet one I plug in my PC.

My computer is relatively new and has been working fine until just recently. At random times when on the internet, it will suddenly freezes (but only the page) and not allow me to click anything. At first I thought it was the website but it has been happening on more sites than one. I have tried installing all the updates and have gone through almost all the tune-ups my computer offers.

This started about 3 days ago, and I'm not sure how. I've run Spybot, AVG and other programs, but nothing seems to stop it.Whenever I click on a link in my bookmarks, it gets deleted in the folder almost automatically afterwards. The bookmarks that get deleted seem to happen at random. When I replaced the bookmarks and clicked them again, sometimes they are fine while others that survived the first round get erased, while some bookmarks remain untouched. This happens to bookmarks in completely different folders, and my history seems to have been left untouched.

Starting earlier today, my internet randomly stopped working on my main PC, though I could still connect and it would work fine on my laptop/phone/tablet/etc. I ran a full McAfee scan which found nothing, and after a couple restarts and unplugging my modem/router, it happened again now.When I try to shut my PC down, it goes to the normal vista "Shutting down" screen, stays there for about 5 or so minutes, and then I get a BSOD.

I've got an older Acer Timeline 4810t running Windows 7. We recently switched from Cox Cable internet to AT&T U-Verse, and I've started noticing that my internet connection will randomly go out when I am connected. This occurs whether I am on a wired or wireless connection. Specifically, I will be browsing the web and, randomly, when I try to pull up a website, I get an error indicating that I cannot connect to that website because I am not connected to the internet. When I check the status of my connection in the bottom right corner, it will show that I am connected to the internet. If I disconnect the ethernet cable (or disconnect and reconnect to the wifi network), the internet service is restored, although it continues to randomly lose connection.
I initially thought that it was a U-Verse issue, so AT&T came out and replaced the router. Unfortunately, I still got the random drops. I then thought it was a Windows issue, so I reformatted by hard drive and reinstalled Windows - still having that issue.My wife has an older Macbook and does not have this problem. We also do not have this problem with any of the tablets or phones that connect to the network wirelessly.I am beyond frustrated and do not know what to do. I also don't know if this is a sign that my laptop is at the end of its life, which would be unfortunate since I've only owned the laptop for about 3 years (my last laptop, a Dell, is on year 7 and still churning).

I keep getting this popup and it says 'The email server is currently unavailable!'. It happens regularly but not all the time and sometimes all at once. You know like buses! Thanks for your help in advance!
P.S It seems as though it's nothing to do with the email client.

I have a new Windows 7 computer and set up Mozilla Sunbird calendar program. I want to assign a shortcut Alt+Ctrl+C to it to launch the calendar. When I do that by going to Sunbird's Start Menu link, opening properties and setting that as the shortcut, it does not work. Pressing Alt+Ctrl+C does nothing. If I assign Alt+Ctrl+D to Sunbird it works fine. It does not appear to a fault of Sunbird. If I assign Alt+Ctrl+C to Notepad that does not work either. It is like something is intercepting that hotkey but then doing nothing. I found a free utility called Ethervane ActiveHotkeys that finds assigned hotkey and it says Alt+Ctrl+C is assigned (as well as the other three hotkeys I have assigned to programs.) It is not however able to say what individual hotkeys are used for.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x86 with K-Lite 9.5 installed. VirtualDub 1.9.11 isn't getting access to the codecs except for Cinepak, etc.I should be using Avidemux anyway, but I can't figure out how to make desperately needed templates and last time I tried to encode a video in h264 it looks a lot worse then it's supposed to for some reason.

I restarted my computer today, and when it turned back on it came with an error message saying C:windowssystem32configsystemprofileDesktop refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check to to make sure the disk is properly inserted.All of my desktop and taskbar icons were gone, and my desktop seemed to revert back to Window 98. When I restarted my computer again half of my icons were back, but the desktop still looked like it was from 1998. When I went into the control panel to change the theme, it changed back to my windows 7 theme, but every time I restart the computer it reverts back to windows 98.

Two days ago i had a popup message from Mcafee but i closed it without taking a look, was kind of in a hurry. Yesterday morning, after the first reboot, windows started but nothing seems to work.
1. Many services do not start -
Workstation
Server
DHCP client
DNS client
Audio Service
HP Wireless Assistant
and many more
2. Services are missing -Network Store Interface Service (i tried to add it manually through the registry)
3. Windoes Services dependencies tab cannot be accessed, i get an error message "Win32: The specified module could not be found."
4. When i try to start services i get different messages -Workstation - "Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start" (this is the most common message)Audio Service - "The audio service on the local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."HP wireless assistant service - This one starts and stops after a few seconds.
5. I have no network access, nor can i connec any USB devices.
6. the "RUN" option is missing from the start menu
7. I've noticed that "bowser" was missing from the services list in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservices tried to add it manually as well, with no success
I did manage for a while to connect my mobile phone and transfer malwarebytes and combobox, but none could solve the problem. Now it won't recognice my mobile either.System restore is disabled for some reason, so that's not an option either.I can't even backup my data and prepare for a fresh installation (which is a bad option as is).

I have a Lenovo 3000 G430 Laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic Edition installed. I wanted to re-partition my 250GB hard disk into 3 logical drives. I shutdown the system and change the order of boot preference to CDRom. I had a bootable CD with me along with FDISK utility on it. I boot my laptop using bootable CD and ran FDISK to delete the existing NTFS (Non-Dos) partition.After deleting all the partitions, When I tried to create a new partition, it displays me disk unallocated space of 8GB only. After this I had tried several partition utility but all of them display disk unallocated space of 8GB only.I have run into problem. Can anyone help me find and resolve the issue with Disk space reporting less unallocated space of 8GB? while the actual size of harddisk is 250GB.

I know this issue is a popular evergreen. But I have done my best to go through this forum and all others to find advice - but this time everything I have read doesnot So once again a thread on temp accounts, HP Elitebook 8540w,Windows 7 professional x64 OEM,local network with XP computers as work group,I use the preinstalled system for a year now, automatic Windows updates were disabled in the recent days, system protected by Avast my personal account with admin rights (I call it "xxx") was on D:users with a link in C:users pointing to it (with mklink /d xxx "d:Usersxxx")this had always worked fine,yesterday my system crashed in a BSOD when loading an online 3D viewer. Not the first bluescreen on this system, but for the first time with lasting effects: when I login to "xxx" I only get a temp account (blank default desktop) and the message that the path c:windowssystem32configsystemprofiledesktop is not accessible. This is still the case. Additionally all new accounts I create start up as temp accounts with the same message. Luckily the original admin account is still alright.(all failed, logging into anything apart from "administrator" opens a temp account and brings up the systemprofiledesktop message!

I have more than a 100GB of video files in wmv format on my Windows 7 partition. When I tried to look for it the other day, the folder /Users/kl/Videos/Logitech Webcam/ was no longer there. But when i searched for "wmv" it showed up in search, then then I clicked open location, it said that the location is unavailable. I know that the files are still on the disk because I have 370GB on that partition, and only 90GB is free. This was the same as when I could still access those video files so they could not have been deleted. How can I gain access to these files again? I have already tried all the instructions on this page

I'm having some problems with event viewer. When I go to open it, it gives me the "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running." error. I've tried going through the steps Microsoft gives for creating new log files if yours are corrupted. Problem is, the .evt file doesn't exist.
I've researched the problem a lot and I do have UxStyle Core installed which is patching the files necessary to install third party themes, and I have heard that this may cause some issues with the event log, but everyone I saw undo any patching and even rollback updates, go to previous restore points, etc.

I just tried to watch a movie on Netflix, and it prompted me to upgrade Microsoft Silverlight. I saved the file to my desktop, and when I tried to open the .exe file, I got this error message from Windows Installer: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
I tried moving the downloaded file to a different location, but it had no effect. I apparently can't play any movie now from Netflix, since I have to update Silverlight before I can play anything.

When I try to run the event log I get the following Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running. In the services panel it is listed as running. However it is not. I have tried system restore but same issue. I don't know if it could be turned off in the registry or just what would cause this. I think the registry was modified and for some reason I have noticed certain registry entries don't always get restored if you use system restore.

Fixing my elderly father's Windows 7/64 desktop. Attempting to print form MS Word to an HP3390 does not give any errors but does not print, either. Attempting to "find printer" from MS Word gives "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable." I went to services.msc to turn on that service but it does not appear in the list. Driver for the printer is already included in Windows 7, according to the HP support site. Printer is USB connected directly to the computer.
BTW Computer is running MW Word 2003 if that makes any difference.
